Hi,

At my company we have switched to the new Outlook version.
I am now trying to find a way to categorize the outlook calendar in similar way as in previous version. Then I could add contitional formatting on the categories (person, workd ertc) and get a good overview in my calendar.

I can not find this functionality anynore

It is not sufficient to right klick on a meeting and change category manually.

Greatful if you can support in this question, it really helps my efficiency.

Best Regards Karin

    Satya and his team are too busy selling CoPilot and no one cares for restoring features that worked in past products and which the community here has been asking for. #sad_state_of_affairs!

    Isn't it great.... 9 months later we finally get a reply to let us know that they're aware of our issue and we should submit it for consideration. If only we had thought of that last May when this thread started and we asked for it to be considered. #SMH #SoHelpful

    Yes. Hurry up Microsoft. "New" products should not lose functionality from previous versions.
